Article Abstract

The proliferation of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) is paving the way for new energy-efficient services that aim to make end-users more active. According to the literature, these services will be managed by a central figure, aggregators. This paper proposes several business models to accommodate them in the electric power industry. Several potential alternatives are identified from the study of different design elements, such as the control strategy, architecture, and signals that need to be exchanged. These alternatives are then tested by analyzing pairwise relationships between all the actors involved (Aggregator-Prosumers, Aggregator-DSO, and Aggregator-TSO). Every business model is first explained individually, including how contracts would operate, in order to determine their advantages and drawbacks. Finally, a comparison of all the alternatives is put forward together with an overview of the main initiatives that have already been implemented.

Modeling of lifetime scenarios with non-monotonic failure rates.

The Weibull distribution is an important continuous distribution that is cardinal in reliability analysis and lifetime modeling. On the other hand, it has several limitations for practical applications, such as modeling lifetime scenarios with non-monotonic failure rates. However, accurate modeling of non-monotonic failure rates is essential for achieving more accurate predictions, better risk management, and informed decision-making in various domains where reliability and longevity are critical factors.

The issue of rural living environment is a critical concern for China and the global community, intricately intertwined with regional economic development. The proactive involvement of rural residents, who are both beneficiaries and influencers of the environment, constitutes a cornerstone in improving environmental standards. Therefore, the factors that shape rural residents' participation in living environment upgrade must be explored.

The Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) is a widely used self-report measure of subjective well-being, but studies of its measurement invariance across a large number of nations remain limited. Here, we utilised the Body Image in Nature (BINS) dataset-with data collected between 2020 and 2022 -to assess measurement invariance of the SWLS across 65 nations, 40 languages, gender identities, and age groups (N = 56,968). All participants completed the SWLS under largely uniform conditions.

In July 2022, a genetically linked and geographically dispersed cluster of 12 cases of Shiga toxin-producing (STEC) O103:H2 was detected by the UK Health Security Agency using whole genome sequencing. Review of food history questionnaires identified cheese (particularly an unpasteurized brie-style cheese) and mixed salad leaves as potential vehicles. A case-control study was conducted to investigate exposure to these products.
